Utilizing Web technology and CMLL theories to offer language courses over the Internet is an innovative approach to EFL and ESL.Yet,this self-access and autonomous learning may not be desirable and suitable for all students.Our Web- based English course is to cover the whole teaching process instead of simply putting the electronic lessons on the net.Lecturing can create an amicable learning environment which is familiar to students and can reinforce the focal points of the course to be embedded in students'mind during the process of their new knowledge construction,thus bridging the gap caused by the lack of face-to-face communication between the teacher and students, and reaching a balance between lecturing teaching and exploratory learning.
